"Assassin is now a common noun in most Europeans languages, but it came to the west from Arabic around the time of the crusades, when it was the name given to a secretive Islamic sect feared by the Crusaders and the Muslim establishment alike. [...]. The Assassins were the first group to make planned, systematic, and long-term use of murder as a political weapon."

Bernard Lewis
